Public Affairs - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Oct 29, 2018

We're almost done with October, and you've probably noticed pink everywhere... And you know what that represents, right? October is breast cancer awareness month. It's a great month to remind us about our health, and in particular women's health, and our breasts. We need to spread the message of the importance of early detection. So many diseases are so difficult to detect until it's too late, but with breast cancer, we have so many tools to find it and kill it in its very early stages.

Dr. Robinson was joined by one of her patients... you may know her... It's me!

Yes, back in July I went for my yearly mammogram and found out there was something in my left breast. Upon further tests, we found out I had invasive ductal carcinoma. Fast forward a couple of months, I've had a lumpectomy to remove this cancer, which I'm happy to say is no longer there, and I'm now gearing up to start chemo in a couple of weeks.
